American Tobacco’s FREE summer concert series open this Friday, August 17th, with Bob & Libby Hicks. The duo has been playing old time music together since the early 1980s.

Bill & Libby were members of “Unknown Tongues,” the Gloucester, NC based cajun-zydeco band, for some seven years, and the core of “The Tongues.” Brian and Barbara Blake, together with The Tongues’ great drummer, Tom Parker, will join them for this concert..
Bill & Libby Hicks will play in the 2012 American Tobacco Back Porch on the Lawn Series on Friday, August 17th. |

The Venue
The American Tobacco Campus is arguably one of the top venues in the Triangle for enjoying an outdoor concert in an intimate and family-friendly atmosphere. Ample parking and five fine eateries surround the lawn: Cuban Revolution, L’Uva, Tyler’s Taproom, Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers, Tobacco Road Sports Cafe and Saladelia.
Kids are welcome on the lawn where families can enjoy the Ole Bull River that runs through the middle of the campus. As a courtesy to your neighbors, no dogs or coolers please.
